131748P.pdf   03/11/2015  United States  v.  Arthur Chappell
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1748
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. For the court's prior opinion remanding the case for a new trial based on an error in the jury instructions, see U.S. v. Chappell, 665 F.3d 1012 (8th Cir. 2012). On remand, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's motion to reopen the record on the issue of probable cause for defendant's arrest; police had probable cause to arrest defendant even if the issue were reopened; claim of vindictive prosecution rejected, as the new charges added after remand concern different criminal acts against mostly difference victims.
